Also, you can legitimately kill someone bare-handed if you land some SERIOUSLY LUCKY SHOTS, like a sucker-punch to the temple, or dropping an elbow into a man's skull. Let's not forget our good buddy the curb stomp!

Yea, I don't think that's going to happen very easily with one shot.

Brikwars is mostly about one shot, one kill (or multiple kills in some cases). That's why whoever had this special power to deliver killing blows would need some serious abilities.

Well, I would take that as a house rule. Added damage all turn long?

In this situation it would go like this with the added house rule of damage carries ALL turn:

The explosion happens and damages the minifig. You roll for damage and the minifig rolls for armor. You keep track every turn of how much damage a minifig can take before his armor is beaten, in this case we'll say he has two left over after the explosion. Now, using some house rule for unarmed attacks he would be able to damage the minifig for the last two damage and kill him.

But that's beside the point. We're getting into a whole new house rule with that.

Batman would be pretty useless in a BrikWar, since he has a thing against killing. Mostly his job is to let badguys beat him up so that he can secretly attach tracking devices to them. In BrikWars terms, of course, a Bat-tracking device gives the target a +6 modifier to be hit by attacks, but it's still pretty lame.

Superman on the other hand would have a whole pile of Super dice to play with, using the modified Supernatural Powers supplement for 2005. I figure he's pretty godlike, so he'd get something like 5d12 or so (+35cp) towards his Super Cliche of "He's fucking Superman."

A minifig punch normally does zero Damage, but once you add a couple of Super d12s to that, now you're talking business.

When was SP hard to figure out? It's not the figuring stuff out that takes time, it's the formatting it into illustrated and examplified webpages. Hell, SP was figured out ages ago.

SP: No more complicated SP points and effect purchasing tables. Now you ust buy SP dice, with a CP cost equal to half their number of faces plus one. (E.g., +3cp per d4, +7cp per d12, etc.)

Each die may be used once per turn for instantaneous effects (i.e., a die used to boost Armor only protects against a single attack or grouped attack; it doesn't boost armor for the full turn), and the effects are strictly limited to the Super unit's Super Cliche.

Each die can be assigned to add or subtract inches or points to any one of the following: Range, Damage, Armor, Skill, Movement (full inches for regular movement, half inches for flight), and Effective Size (for lifting, throwing, or operating large objects). If d10s or d12s are assigned to Damage, it's always Explosion Damage; otherwise dice do standard Damage with no area effect.

(Old stuff that's no longer allowed: Area, Duration, Create/Uncreate Matter, Influence Thought, Lend Power, and Flexibility. Some parts of Telekinesis, Portal, and Know are special cases that can still work but don't get their own sections anymore.)

Dice may be rolled one at a time or in groups, according to preference; players don't have to decide in advance the total number of dice they plan to use for a given effect.

If used for an Action, each die used adds +1 to Use rating. Super units still get only one Action per turn.

THE FUN PART: Whenever a 1 is rolled, your opponent may immediately re-roll that die and use it to modify your effect however he wishes (range inches in the wrong direction being a common choice). If your opponent also rolls a 1, the die is wasted.
